Nida is a single mother and takes care of her antisocial son, who has locked himself in a room and has been there for five years.

But then outsiders get curious about what's going on behind the closed door and strange things start to happen.

Strong!
A bit in the vein of Meat Grinder. Visually great, strong soundtrack too. Furthermore, the drama dominates, the horror is mainly limited to the beginning and end of the film. Relies heavily on the soundtrack, not so much on the visuals.
So if you want a simple horror fix, you don't have much to look for here, but if you can enjoy the style and can tolerate the (quite effective) drama in a film like this, then Who Are You has enough to offer for an evening of top entertainment.
Thailand continues to deliver fascinating horrors. Not the most accessible films, because the cross-section between pop horror and arthouse is not really great, but for the fans it is nothing but enjoyment. It's a shame that Wonjinda loses the reins for a while halfway through, but towards the end he is completely back.
4.0* and a extensive review

Finally saw it and I am certainly not disappointed. I had already read here and there beforehand that it is not horror par excellence, but that it also contains a fair amount of drama. That's true, but fortunately Wonjinda knows how to create such an atmosphere so that you remain fascinated throughout the film. After all, the mysterious is only one door away from our world, and it can burst at the seams at any moment.
Very enjoyable audiovisually. The soundtrack in particular is very frightening at times. The drama part works, although I couldn't wait to switch back to the horror side. There are some really wonderful creepy scenes.
Fortunately, the ending is a blast, which makes me rate the film even slightly higher than originally planned. It's been a long time since shivers ran down my body when I saw the ghost sitting there on his chair. I really watched with my buttocks clenched during the chase[/spoiler ], especially when the excellent soundtrack kicks in. It is a great pity that a minute later it is very clear that the ghost comes out of the computer, but the tension drops a bit again.
I feel like there's a second layer to the film that I'm not quite seeing yet. For example, I don't quite understand the ending yet, something I often have with these types of videos. Furthermore, this is a film that is of very good quality. A little less drama and a little more horror at the finale level would have been even better. Anyway, highly recommended.
